James Cameron's Avatar Trailer is (finally) Here!

For years now people have been listening to the whispers about Avatar, James Cameron's sci-fi epic that has been nearly a decade-and-a-half in the making.

For Avatar, Cameron has pioneered new technologies in filming that have allowed him to create "photorealistic" CGI images so detailed and textured, they are said to be almost indistinguishable from reality - and did I mention he's done all this in 3D to boot?

Well, Hollywood directors have seen it; attendees at Comic-Con's Avatar panel have seen it; now you can see it. Today we have the official trailer for James Cameron's Avatar - and although it's not in 3D, the fruits of Cameron's labors are hard to deny.

Ok, so there are a few things we've been waiting to discuss about this film: Cameron himself has already put forth the argument that with Avatar, we are truly getting something "original" in both content and form. Do you agree with that assessment? Does Avatar live up to the hype of being visually "revolutionary?" And does the story (at first glance) interest you as much as the pretty visuals?

Watch the trailer one more time and then let us know what you think in the comments. For those of you lucky enough (like yours truly) to snag tickets for tomorrow's "Avatar Day" IMAX extended preview, be sure to look for our review of the event and tell us what you thought about the film in its full IMAX 3D glory.
